Abstract
The study of moduli spaces is a fundamental topic in modern mathematics, influencing areas such as algebraic geometry, differential geometry, and mathematical physics. This paper provides a detailed exposition of the geometry and topology of moduli spaces, with a focus on their structural properties, classification, and applications. We establish key theorems characterizing moduli spaces, present essential assumptions underlying their structure, and offer rigorous proofs for these results. Additionally, we explore various examples to illustrate the theoretical framework, culminating in an analysis of open problems and future research directions.
